• Napoli 3-0 Bologna: Kvaratskhelia on target as Conte enjoys first Serie A win

  Antonio Conte oversaw his first Serie A victory in charge of Napoli, who ran out commanding 3-0 winners over Bologna at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

  Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giovanni Simeone were all on target for the Partenopei as they bounced back from their defeat by the same scoreline at Verona on matchday one.

  The hosts had not lost their opening two games of a Serie A season since doing so under Zdenek Zeman in 2000-01, and they broke through in first-half stoppage time.

  A lovely move culminated in Kvaratskhelia clipping a delightful ball into the box for the onrushing Di Lorenzo to control and fire home.

  Kvaratskhelia doubled the lead with a quarter of an hour remaining; his shot after a fine solo run deflecting beyond Lukasz Skorupski in the Bologna goal.

  Napoli wrapped up the points in stoppage time when David Neres cut a cross back for fellow substitute Simeone, who made no mistake from close range.

  Data Debrief: A magnificent seven for Di Lorenzo as Simeone ends drought

  Napoli opened the scoring via an unlikely source in Di Lorenzo, though he converted the opportunity with aplomb.

  The skipper is one of two defenders, along with Cristiano Biraghi, to score in each of the last seven Serie A seasons.

  Namesake Simeone climbed off the bench to net his fifth goal against Bologna in the Italian top flight and, more importantly, end a dismal run of 24 successive league appearances without scoring.

• Nottingham Forest bring in Porto defender Carmo

  Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of David Carmo from Porto for £10m (€11.7m), with the defender going out on loan to Olympiacos for the season.

  The Portuguese-born defender, who represents Angola at international level, spent the second half of last season in Athens.

  Carmo joins on a five-year deal and is Forest's ninth signing of the summer transfer window.

  He began his career at Braga before moving to Porto for €20m in the summer of 2022, but only managed 27 appearances before being loaned to Olympiacos, who are owned by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, in January.

  Meanwhile, reports emerged on Sunday that Forest's move to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah had broken down.

  Nuno Espirito Santo's team are, however, rumoured to be in talks with Feyenoord over Mexico forward Santiago Gimenez, who scored 23 Eredivisie goals last term.

• Liverpool still have a lot to prove, claims Slot after maiden Anfield win

  Liverpool still have "a lot to prove" despite maintaining their strong start to the Premier League season, so says new boss Arne Slot.

  Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in Sunday's 2-0 win over Brentford continued the Dutchman's perfect record as Reds head coach following their opening-day win over Ipswich Town last week.

  Slot's side are yet to concede a goal this term, scoring four in return, as he became the first Liverpool boss since April 1991 to win his first two league matches in charge.

  Yet Slot knows it is early days as he aims to walk in the shoes of the legendary Jurgen Klopp.

  He told BBC Sport: "The fans loved to see the team playing really well but they also loved to see the team working very hard.

  "I liked what I saw so if I like it then mostly the fans like it.

  "Again we won against Ipswich, won against Brentford. Two good teams but I am not expecting them to be in the top six in the upcoming year so still a lot to prove for us in the upcoming weeks and months."

  Liverpool were frustrated in their attempts to extend their lead against the Bees by visiting goalkeeper Mark Flekken, who made six saves, but Slot was quick to point out the defensive solidity shown by his team, who limited Brentford to just 0.36 expected goals (xG).

  "Most importantly, we did not concede much," the former Feyenoord coach said.

  "The only big chance we conceded was a set piece and that is always so difficult when you play Brentford. They can threaten in many ways but one is certainly set pieces, and we controlled that quite well apart from that one moment."

  Slot also praised many of his players for returning from their holidays in fine physical condition, and he thinks that has been one of the main factors in Liverpool achieving two wins out of two so far.

  "The players came back after three weeks of holiday and in most cases two weeks before the start of the games but they came back really strong physically", he said.

  "Compliment to the players for how they came back and, like I have said, we haven't changed much compared to the former regime, so it is not so difficult for them to start playing again. That was a very positive thing."

  Slot's biggest test as Liverpool coach comes next week, with the Reds heading to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
